Friday Favorites - Christmas Presents

January 15, 2021


Hello blog friends and happy Friday!

I thought it would be fun to share with you some of my favorite Christmas presents.    



1.  Fleeces
I am in love with this buffalo plaid sherpa I saw on Andrea's blog Living on Cloud Nine.  This sherpa looks great on Andrea and I decided to order one from the Etsy shop Fallen Star Couture Inc.  I like this sherpa and it's sure to keep me warm during these cold winter months.

We are members of BJ's and I'm in love with both of these fleece pullovers.  They keep me warm and I've gotten compliments on the red and black fleece.






2.  Harry Potter Sweatshirt
My daughter is a huge Harry Potter fan.  When I saw my daughter wearing one of these tie-dyed sweatshirts, I knew I wanted one too.  The Etsy shop is called The Marauderess.   I have the brown sweatshirt that says HUFFLEPUFF on the front. 


3.  Sneakers
I've wanted Stan Smith Adidas sneakers for a while.  I'm happy I have these floral sneakers to wear with leggings and jeans.  I think they look pretty and they are so comfortable to wear.  
4.  Keychain
My husband wanted a new watch for Christmas.  We went to the Shinola store in Tribeca, New York City to buy his watch.  The store is filled with watches and leather goods.  When I saw this keychain, I knew I wanted one for my handbag.  I am so happy with this keychain and I have it in the color black.

5.  Lululemon Yoga Mat
I am in love with my new reversible yoga mat.  It's made well and you can use either side to exercise on.


6.  Makeup & Face Cream
I love this makeup palette that my sister-in-law gave me for Christmas.  It's the Tarte Clay Play Face Shaping Palette Vol. 2.  It's filled with pretty eyeshadows and blushes.  I'm having fun trying out the different eye shadow colors.

I was happy when my sister-in-law gave me this mascara for Christmas.  It's by Lancome and it's the Hypnose Drama Instant Volumizing Mascara.  This mascara works well and I like the curved brush.  


This is another gift idea I saw on Andrea's blog Living on Cloud Nine.  It's the Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lip Secrets gift set.  When I saw this set, I knew I wanted one.  I LOVE these lipsticks.  It has a matte lipstick, lipliner, and two lipglosses.  Thanks, Andrea for this Christmas gift idea.



This is a gift set that I bought for myself and I had my daughter and husband give this to me for Christmas.  I wanted to try out the It Cosmetics cleanser and creams as I like their foundation.  I like the way these creams moisturize my skin and makes my face feel so soft.  I've always used Neutrogena Hydro Boost cream for my face.  I have used this cream for years and I will go back to using that cream after I'm done with the It Cosmetics cream.  I use Cetaphil Cleanser for washing my face.  I will go back to using that cleanser for my face.  I like that I can buy both products at Costco for a great price.  I'm glad I tried out these creams but I like what I've always used.





I hope you've enjoyed looking at some of my favorite Christmas presents. 

Have a happy Friday and weekend.

  3. Lot's of lovely things Julie, it seems ages since I wore any makeup other than a little foundation and lipstick, with not going out anywhere theres no need. I'm a big fan of anything that keeps you warm and fleece certainly does that. Have a great weekend .x
